Summary

It's a desert environment with no shade, making spring and fall the best times to visit. Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets; there’s no water or hookups, and RVs must be 40 ft or shorter. Reservations are not accepted—sites are first-come, first-served—and there’s a nightly fee. Dispersed camping is not allowed in this area. The campground is close to hiking and biking trails, including those in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, making it ideal for adventurers seeking a scenic, rustic basecamp.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
